What is motor legal protection? – Motor Legal Protection, also called legal expenses insurance, is usually sold as an add-on policy separate to your motor insurance policy. They are for assisting you in recovering any losses or expenses you may incur after an accident that was not your fault, such as lost earnings, taxi fares, hire car costs, treatment costs etc. They usually cost around £30 a year per vehicle.
